  1. 1. Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) Analysis and Predicted Physical Properties of Shocked Quartz from the Chicxulub Impact Crater, Mexico

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Erina Prastyani; [2022]
    Keywords : EBSD; SEM; shocked quartz; quartz; CPO; seismic velocity; anisotropy; Chicxulub; impact crater; pole figures; MTEX toolbox; microstructural features; planar deformation feature; planar fracture; feather features;

    Abstract : As one of the most common minerals in crustal rocks, quartz has been widely used as an indicator for shock metamorphism. Shocked quartz is found in the Chicxulub impact crater, an impact crater that has been linked to the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction ~66 million years ago. READ MORE

  3. 2. Kinetic interpretation of microstructures in the Gällivare area; implications for deformation phases and related metamorphic events.

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Linnéa Jansson Fagerlund; [2021]
    Keywords : Geology; Northern Sweden; Gällivare; Nautanen Deformation Zone; Fjällåsen Deformation Zone; Microstructures;

    Abstract : The goal of this study was to identify and describe different microstructures observed in samples from two major shear zones in the Gällivare area, namely the Nautanen Deformation Zone (NDZ), and the Fjällåsen deformation zone (FDZ). Thirteen samples were examined during this study. READ MORE

  4. 3. Characterization of mineral parageneses and metamorphic textures in eclogite- to high-pressure granulite-facies marble at Allmenningen, Roan, western Norway

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Stylianos Karastergios; [2020]
    Keywords : Western Gneiss Region; Vestranden; Roan; Caledonides; marble; calc-silicate; metabasic; petrography; SEM-EDS; mineral chemistry; mineral equilibrium; P–T estimate; devolatilization; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Roan peninsula in western Norway, Vestranden, is known for exposing one of the deepest parts of the Scandinavian Caledonian orogen, similar to the Western Gneiss Region. Throughout the Roan area, eclogites and high-pressure granulite- and amphibolite-facies gneisses occur, associated with supracrustal rocks including marbles, calc-silicate rocks and amphibolites.

  5. 4. Life Cycle Assessment of a Lithium-Ion Battery pack for Energy storage Systems : - the environmental impact of a grid-connected battery energy storage system

    University essay from

    Author : Lollo Liu; [2020]
    Keywords : Environmental Impact; Global Warming Potential; Grid-services; Energy Time shift; Renewable Energy Integration; Primary Regulations; Peak-Shaving;

    Abstract : This thesis assessed the life-cycle environmental impact of a lithium-ion battery pack intended for energy storage applications. A model of the battery pack was made in the life-cycle assessment-tool, openLCA. READ MORE

  6. 5. Metamorphic paragenesis and P-T conditions in garnet amphibolite from the Median Segment of the Idefjorden Terrane, Lilla Edet

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Anna Sartell; [2019]
    Keywords : P-T conditions; Sveconorwegian orogeny; Idefjorden Terrane; Median Segment; Göta Älv Shear Zone; garnet amphibolite; upper amphibolite facies; partial melting; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Sveconorwegian orogeny (c. 1 Ga) lead to the recrystallization of large parts of southwestern Sweden, with widespread metamorphism as well as local migmatization. READ MORE
